How to watch on the Big Screen

Watching on your phone or laptop is fine, but live sports belongs on the big screen. Here is how to get the VPN working on your TV:

• Smart TVs & Fire Stick: Most Android-based TVs and devices like the Amazon Fire TV Stick or Google Chromecast with Google TV have native VPN apps. Simply search for your VPN provider in the app store on your TV, log in, and connect just like you would on your phone.
• Apple TV, Roku & Consoles: These devices often don't support direct VPN apps. The easiest workaround is to use Smart DNS (usually found in your VPN account settings) or Mirror/Cast the stream from your VPN-connected phone or laptop to your TV.

4/5

Club Brugge have won all five of their last five matches across all competitions, scoring 12 goals and conceding five in that run. Their most recent outing was a 1-0 cup win over KSC Lokeren on October 17, while their standout result was the 4-3 Champions League victory over Inter Milan on October 13. Earlier wins over RAAL La Louviere (4-1), Genk (3-0), and Royal Antwerp (3-1) underline the consistency Leko's side have built across domestic and European competition.

Lens have recorded two wins, one draw, and two defeats across their last five matches. Their most recent result was a 3-1 win at Troyes in Ligue 1 on October 17, but that followed a 2-0 defeat to Sporting CP in the Champions League on October 13. Earlier in the run, Lens beat Lyon 2-1, lost to Monaco 2-1, and drew 2-2 with Le Mans. Cahuzac's side have scored nine goals and conceded eight across those five outings.
